@silentmoviegifs The last one has no sense of weight to it, like it was lowered carefully with wires all the way down.

The influence of Buster Keaton's most famous stunt

@TheSpaceshipper Jesus so I was 7 when I had my parents take me to see this while my friends saw Jingle All the Way

Ack! Ack! Ack! 👽 Tim Burton's Mars Attacks! was released 28 years ago today. They come in peace. ✌️

@djrtyhands Had to scroll way too far to see Singing in the Rain, one of the greatest movies ever made full stop

what’s your favorite musical movie but you CAN’T say tick tick boom, hamilton, wonka, wicked, la la land, les mis, mamma mia and the greatest showman (this is actually just mee needing more movie!musical recs)

@davidzmorris @ManuclearBomb Without looking it up, my guess is it's a Krusty line

@ManuclearBomb I've spent the last decade having forgotten that "quiet part loud" is from the Simpsons

Been thinking about Simpsons phrases that have entered the popular lexicon. Things like "land of contrasts" and "saying the quiet part loud," what else is there (not thinking of neologisms/solecisms like "cromulent" or "embiggen")

@c0mmunicants I can't remember not being interested in film, so my best guess is either the first movie I ever saw, (I think a Pinocchio rerelease?) or my first trip to Hollywood as a child.

Do you have a specific movie that kickstarted your interest in film?

@JudiciaryGOP Literally the first thing any older NYer brings up about how the city has changed is how sanitized and Disney-fied Times Square has become. There's a lot to complain about the direction this city has taken, but crime isn't it. We have 20x too many cops and the rent is too high.

Back in the good old days: -You could fly to NYC affordably -Go to Times Square and not get robbed -Head to your hotel, that’s not overrun with illegal aliens -Dine at the Cheesecake Factory without spending your whole paycheck NO LONGER POSSIBLE IN JOE BIDEN’S AMERICA.

people LOVE curse words when you beep them. as soon as you remove the beep? chaos.

@ATRightMovies Did we all forget there's a movie with White Castle in the damn title?

What is the most blatant piece of product placement in a movie?

@disobedientgay Yeah Luca Guadagnino makes a lot of interesting choices deserving of praise, but also plenty that are pretty baffling. Still think about that shot in A Bigger Splash that pulls out to a wide from a CU of Ralph Fiennes's open mouth.

16 cuts in a minute long clip…. Open up the film schools

@arvofart Not an actual bid, but I just rewatched Up In the Air for the first time since theaters, and for a movie I remembered as a lot of good vibes, I forgot (probably bc I was 20 then) how bleak the whole side about layoffs was. So if there's a movie all about mass layoffs, that one.

What’s the bleakest movie you’ve ever seen? Not the scariest, most violent, or most disturbing, but the most overwhelmingly hopeless movie

@silentmoviegifs Could have sworn it was this very account that once shared a *pre-film* animation with this gag and claimed that was the origin of it...

A lot of "cartoon gags" actually have their origin in silent comedy, like this bit from Danger Ahead (1926)

@lizellisliz Heart piss, skin piss, and eye piss.

@kelly_knox Movie was a mess but the marketing team did a hell of a job convincing us it would be great. Between this poster and that very first trailer, there was no reason to expect anything less.

sorry but

I can't think of a more perfect illustration of how broken American democracy is, than the fact that for the first time ever it's basically 100% certain who both parties' nominees are before the first primary, even though they're two of the most unpopular candidates in history.

@Eldon_Katz It really feels like this would be the year that a few really bold third party candidates would shoot their shot, but all I've heard is exactly one person mention RFK Jr.

@FilmBayona Hang on, was the compositing for this whole movie done with Roto?? Or did they just leave green screen out of the breakdown?

The location where Society of the Snow takes place is fascinating for its beauty and also for the terror that triggers in the audience. It is one of the highlights of the film. Since it’s a place where it’s impossible to shoot with a conventional crew, the visualization of the iconic Valle de las Lágrimas has been created with the indispensable support of the visual effects team. Without them —as you can see on the video below— it would have been impossible to achieve the level of authenticity and realism required for the movie. La localización donde transcurre La Sociedad de la Nieve fascina por su belleza y el terror que inspira en el espectador. Es uno de los principales atractivos de la película. Dado que es un lugar donde es imposible rodar con un crew convencional, la recreación del icónico Valle de las lágrimas se ha generado con el apoyo fundamental del equipo de efectos visuales. Sin ellos, cómo puedes comprobar en este vídeo, habría sido imposible alcanzar el nivel de autenticidad y realismo con el que está planteada la película. #SocietyOfTheSnow #LaSociedadDeLaNieve #VFX

@bombsfall It looks like a treasured heirloom of the chimp couple in the original Planet of the Apes.

I tracked down some old plates that were once made in an abandoned glass factory we explored. This is on our kitchen wall now. It's purportedly a dog and it's in our house while we sleep.

@llaetiwo @davideastUK But if they're learning this from UK media...

@davideastUK Would like to believe this but the characters mention NY getting nuked. Maybe it was all fine apart from that?

@fasc1nate I don't think anyone in Amsterdam was surprised to see their canals are full of bikes
